# Yulowski — The Black Gang character guide

## Snapshot

A redheaded Russian killer who wants Drummond and his wife bayoneted at once and buried with the other bodies in the grounds.

## Who they are

Yulowski argues for immediate, brutal murder while Zadowa urges caution and Peterson listens impassively. His readiness to do the job himself, and his shrug when overruled, reveal a man for whom killing is simply a trade he has practiced since leaving Russia. He embodies the gang's casual violence, the threat that makes Peterson's polite menace so chilling.
